I paint big, colorful flowers. I am fascinated by the repetitive shapes, the colors, and the energy of plants and flowers. They are each so unique and different, almost as if they have little personalities. I love the big bold varieties of sunflowers and zinnias, as well as exotic tropicals like hibiscus and bird of paradise. I could paint them for hours and never get tired of it. I keep my garden chock-full of all these types so I get to live with them and study them. They are constantly making me smile and informing my work.
My art is uplifting and positive. There’s enough heavy negativity these days, so I’m doing my part to put positive energy back into the world. Color saves lives. It inspires us to think better, work smarter, and play more. My art is about beauty, color, and joy, and ultimately, it’s about hope.

Hi, it’s Diana, aka. Life Beneath the Pines. I am inspired by the repetition, pattern, texture, rhythm, and yumminess, I find in nature, baking, literature, and textiles, and I practice translating that into photographs, mixed media paintings, and quilts.
My art is conceptual, accessible, quirky, and has been called “cute”. There’s a story behind each piece. I’d love to hear what story you find or to share my story with you.
Currently, I have a series of distorted portraits inspired by the challenged book In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak, a series of abstracted florals inspired by the three-song playlist: “I Can’t Stand the Rain” by Tina Turner, “Come to My Window” by Melissa Etheridge, and “Coming Home” by Ulali, a series of black and white photographs inspired by texture in nature, and old denim repurposed into crazy quilt(s).
Tiffany Nesbit is a New Orleans artist, now working in Houston. Her studio practice is heavily influenced by both walks in the wilderness and urban areas of the southern states. She uses high fired ceramics, mixed media collage, ropes, and various weathered materials in her work. Her pottery describes the color pallets, plantlife and tropical bayou landscapes, including the creatures in them. You can find more of her installation work online at: www.tiffanyangelnesbit.com or follow her instagram @tiffanyangelstudioartist
Robin Whalan is an emerging visual artist, currently working in ink and printmaking. Self-taught, she found her voice through the power of art during the 2020 pandemic. Robin’s work is an expression of her own personal life experiences. A native Houstonian and historical building enthusiast with a background in interior design, she enjoys implementing local architecture, specializing in Art Deco. Her work is an emotional rollercoaster of heartbreak, love, disaster and humor; “relatable” and “honest” being the most commonly used words by viewers when describing her pieces. @robinwhalanart
I’m a storyteller with my jewelry. It can be a story of a painting which I saw, bird in a nature or at the sea, flowers in the garden, etc. Anything which I saw and fell in love with. I use different techniques in my work but my specialty is filigree.
My art is a visual journey. Color and emotions and energy are what my art is all about and i am honored when a client connects with my art. ~ Elaine Lanoue
I am an abstract artist based out of Houston. My primary mediums are acrylics and watercolor, and my work is characterized by the use of texture, mixed media, and collage elements. My paintings invite viewers to take a closer look in order to appreciate the tactile components and hidden details, neither of which are immediately evident when each piece is viewed as a whole. I find inspiration in the industrial neighborhood in which I reside, as well as in the cultures, history, and cityscapes I have experienced in my travels. This inspiration is manifested through the colors, textures, geometric themes, and found objects that comprise my body of work.
Coming from an artistic family I’ve always had a knack for drawing and have occasionally dabbled with other artistic pursuits throughout my life. My formal education and career path, however, focused on biology and environmental education, with a gradual shift from managing educational programming to producing publications. While those skill sets remain in my toolbox, I’ve recently begun taking classes at MFAH’s Glassell Studio School and am now focused on my education and development as a fine artist. Many of my early works were bound up in representing what IS…highly realistic representations of physical objects, animals, plants, and people. Recently I’ve worked to expand my horizons, loosening up in both style and ideation. Currently, my works are often nature-inspired, sometimes figurative and realistic, other times abstract or conceptual. I’m an emerging artist, learning, experimenting, and exploring the realm of what is possible and unbound by adherence to any particular media, technique, or subject matter. Maybe one day I’ll settle in to a marketable artistic “brand” but for now, I thrive on variety.
